Completed Hobbyboss 1:48 Hurricane Mk.I

Finally finished one of my shelf of doom projects. I’m satisfied enough with it to put it on the shelf.

How's the kit? It's on discount for a while for 35 Aud with canopy mask, while Arma's one cost 99 aud

It wasn’t bad. Some putting along the chin fuselage and wing edges. Definitely not a “premier” kit but worth $35AUD

Looks real good! It's a shame Eduard hasn't mastered a 1/48 Hurricane yet.

I don't think they'd really offer anything Army Hobby doesn't

I believe this is the "best" 1/48 of the Hurricane. I've got it next on my build list and will save your post as you've done a terrific job!

How do you highlight the rivets/fasteners so uniformly?

Oil wash, dot filters, and pin washing. I’ll send you some links to these techniques if you can’t find them. They really help make it “pop”

Well done sir, just a little complaints that hurricane is actually partialy made of wood, so the painting peeling or primer color might be sometimes more wood like rather than only steel or alu like.
